Does anyone have a 100% correct dimensions for the drivers side window for a Type 19 Golf?
The chap making my polycarb window only has the big window glass dimensions on file.
Cheers peeps!

Type 19? Whats that mean?
-
Pre 88 cars with 1/4 lights and small bumpers are type 19's.

Ah thought that's what you meant. Surely tho it doesnt have to be that exact, there is a shed load of play around the window seals, could you not just remove your actual window and use it as a template? Or am i completely missing the point?
-
No you're not missing the point, I was just hoping someone may have already done it so I don't have to. :grin:

Less weight, glass windows are heavy.

If you came round you would have one out of the car to use as a template! When i get home tonight i will measure it up for you.
-
wouldn't you be better tracing round a window and sending them a template? there will be quite a few angles etc to measure if they want dims

Cheers, are you free in the evenings around 5pm. I was thinking of popping round on my way home from work one night next week. I've got the baffles and a plan from Mark for you as well.

Well has the big window template and the small window is just the same as the big window with a bit chopped off. From what I can see the bit chopped off is parallel with the other end so it should be fine (fingers crossed!).

i was thinking that, but are you sure the window isn't a bit taller than the qtr light?
-
Yeah it is but the guy already has the big window template liek I said. The glass is the same size and shape except for having the end cut off.
nick
-
but the qtr glass doesn't fit into the window runner like on a big window, thats where i think the size might be a bit different.
happy to be wrong though! at least you will be cutting material off if i'm right, its harder to add material :grin:
-
Ah I know what you mean now. I'm getting the 1/4 lights off Jon, it's just the big window the chap on CGTI is doing for me :cool:

So as per above the main window is the same shape and dimmensions as the big window version until the point the "end" is chopped off. The 1/4 light is not as deep as as you pointed out it only sits in the rubbers.

I hope you are only eating salads, driving without any passengers and most importantly driving naked?!

Salads? As if!
